    Do you leave work at different times each day and week that you don’t know about until you are at work?

    Unless you do, a regular programmable thermostat would be fine.

      This might surprise you, but some people work jobs with alternating schedules.

      I’d imagine it’s pretty annoying to reprogram the thermostat every other week or w/e.

        And it isn’t annoying to have to log into your thermostat every day?

            Either way you need to interact with your thermostat to change it, why add a vulnerability to it that the company may break it at some point?

          Log in every day? Many, if not most, smart thermostat apps have location based features to automatically handle the use case OP had mentioned. You can set it up one time and pretty much never need to interact with it again.
